Well defined and timely data can energize a staff to reflect and change
Research
Too often means analyzing test scores.
This may tell you who is not learning and what they are not learning but doesn’t help you know how to help them learn.
Now you get a grade as a school/teacher!
This becomes a “Scarlet Letter,” but it still isn’t data that helps you improve.
DDI needs to be ongoing, timely, actionable, directly relate to a teacher and private
Data-driven Instruction (DDI)
Data-driven Instruction (DDI)Too often reduced to single measures.
This may be easy to understand but doesn’t reflect complexity of learning over time.
Test scores are all we focus on - they drive educators.
State test scores don’t drive instruction, they drive test rehearsal.
DDI needs to be comprehensive and reflect the values of what is important for students to learn.
